Who are we?

Creative Landscapes is the result of a collaboration between two independent cultural organizations: Misko Uostas (Lithuania) and Parsec (Italy). These were both founded by artists and cultural practitioners who believe that creativity can inspire learning, strengthen social connections, and promote environmental awareness.

01

Miško Uostas, based in Svencioneliai, has been revitalizing the town’s industrial heritage and surrounding natural landscapes since 2016. By transforming an abandoned railway area into a cultural hub, Miško Uostas has hosted residencies, exhibitions, and community workshops that reconnect people with their environment and local histories. Trainspotting Art Residency has become a reference model for rural cultural regeneration and inclusive participation.

02

Parsec, located in Bologna, works at the intersection of contemporary art, education, and ecology. Parsec organizes residencies, exhibitions, and public programs that explore how creative practice can address environmental and social transformation. Among its main initiatives are the Terrapolis Festival, dedicated to art and ecology, and Green Screen, a moving-image program focused on sustainability and cultural change.

Despite their different locations, Miško Uostas and Parsec share a common vision: art as a collective and pedagogical process rather than a solitary act. Both value long-term engagement, non-formal education, and direct collaboration with local communities, building bridges between local experience and global challenges. Their partnership, born within the Reset! Network, has evolved into a transnational ecosystem that brings together artistic research, ecological practice, and community learning. Through this collaboration, they cultivate a shared methodology that understands creativity as a form of care, cooperation, and responsibility toward the places we inhabit.

Together, they design residencies, training programs, and public events that connect people across countries and disciplines.
